and we have a national security reporter from "the washington post," joining us now live from washington. good morning. >> good morning, again. >> okay, so, what are you learning today? >> well, some surprises and some new mysteries to chew on. one of the bigger things is this bomber had never been inside this base, had never actually seen any of these americans before he got onto the base to blow himself up. he essentially was brought on for the very first time by an afghan driver. once he got on to the base, he detonated the device. we also found out the cia had actually tried to put in some basic security precautions. they had brought the guy over to a place in the base that was essentially abandoned, and they tried to search him, and the minute they went to search him he blew himself up and the cia officers were close enough to him, some as many as a few yards to 50 yards away, and they were killed or wounded in this explosion. >> did you get any word as to whether he actually was a double agent? there are conflicting reports. >> a double agent or maybe a triple agent. >> right. >> o
